Custom German snipers

Well I finally made some German snipers

Istarted with a 21st C figure and removed the lower torso and legs. Then I replaced them with a set from a BBI figure that are camo patterned. I then took one of the green hats and painted it in a dull darker tri-color to complete the figure. Next I gave them a custom made rifle with scope that I got from Razor. I further modified the scope on the gun to give it the glassy look of lenes and wa-la I have a sniper figure

So now, I could use some more, so it's back to the building table to create some with helmets and who knows else

Yep Stug, I like 'em

THe problem now is finding the BBI Martinez figure with the camo pants

And I traded a bunch of them away a while back - DOH

Can you use the bottoms from the max rode figures?

Hmmm, I bet you could. NEver tried it - yet. But he too is hard to find

I'll give it a try right now

Thanks, Da General

General, looks great! How did you get the standing figure's right arm so close to his chest? He looks realistic with the rifle up against his shoulder.

Normandy,
I used alot of patience, force and a drop of CA to do it, so he's now like semi permenent

Stug,
Nope I can't get Max apart

So I tried an S1 Otto and tried to force it and his torso broke

So I guess that idea is out

Back to the drawing board

nice troops,

i'm not sure about the bbi seal legs though, the camo looks a bit too modern to me and the leg holster is way too anachronical

Well then that's a quick fix, Chop-chop
